| There are 60,000 follicles per square inch of skin, producing over 100 million individual fibres in each fleece. Join the fibres from 5 merinos end to end and you can tie a bow around the world.
Merino is much finer than traditional wool, and is technically more complex than synthetics.
Tiny overlapping scales case the fibre. They're hydrophobic (water resistant), like tiles on a roof. Inside it's a different story - the fibre is highly absorbent.
wearwoolf merino is the most hydrophillic of all fibres and can absorb and release 10x more moisture than synthetics. Each fibre can absorb up to one third of its own weight in moisture without feeling clammy or wet to touch. Your wearwoolf can then release this moisture into the atmosphere to keep you feeling warm and dry.
Wool fibre has evolved over 25,000 years to create a uniquely complex structure of interlocking protein molecules, surrounded by electrically charged lysine side chains. Through a natural process called 'hydrogen bonding', these side chains electrically attract water vapour molecules. The wool fibres actually pull the moisture vapour away from the skin. As so often with nature, it's devilishly complicated but extremely effective and very hard to imitate. Because its layers of molecules are more complex than any synthetic Sportwool draws moisture
